In 1655, the area was first settled by six pioneers who bought land from the Setalcott Indians. No townsman was permitted to sell land to an outsider and no one could move into the settlement with a favorable vote from those already living there. The former and merged names of Setauket include Ashford. During the American Revolutionary War, the Culper Spy Ring headed by Benjamin Tallmadge passed information about British troop movements gathered in New York City to George Washington. The Battle of Setauket was fought here in 1777. Setauket has also a record of active governance in the affairs of Brookhaven and was its capital for a long time. It was considered as a shipbuilding town in the 19th-century.
